How can Safeguard cut costs and optimize efficiency in your healthcare institution?

We’ve learnt over the years that the key to safety management is a compact, highly-motivated team of dedicated safety personnel. In practice, however, most safety managers have no insight into where exactly their safety workers are, whilst team members struggle to keep track with each other due to flexible and inconsistent shift schedules. As a result, many hospitals, clinics or emergency centers end up with an inefficient amount of standby-personnel and safety officers. This lack of accuracy results in more safety-personnel being trained than needed, leading to wasted budgets, poor shift-management and over-expenditure.

More importantly, in instances where nearby citizens need to be alarmed of an escalated disaster, or when the right people need to urgently be notified of a situation, current safety-management systems fail in providing adequate solutions. With time being the most important resource in managing critical situations, most organizations still resort to old safety-management practices. Having to notify a departmental supervisor or manager of an emergency, only for that person to then start making calls and directing orders just doesn’t cut it anymore. We can do better.

The Safeguard Solution

With real-time location tracking of safety-personnel, you’ll always have a clear picture of how many team-members are available on standby at any given time, and at any given location. Regardless of how many flexi-workers are in your safety-management system, you’ll know exactly what resources are on hand when the time comes, resulting in optimal preparedness.

Over time, you’ll be able to start applying the data and it’s precision to the everyday planning of your safety operations, resulting in a more cost-effective, time-efficient and optimally-run safety team. The data provided by Safeguard will also flow into other domains of your healthcare organization’s ecosystem, influencing the way you manage your training operations and the general running of your organization.

One of our customers, The Amphia Hospital, is well on their way to reducing their amount of safety workers by 300, saving them immense costs and significantly boosting their operational efficiency.

Our advanced SMS alarm notification system also means that you’ll be able to notify large groups of people at scale, all with a single button- including nearby residents or assistance volunteers. Because Safeguard shows you exactly who is available and on-site at all times, you’re always able to alarm the right people within the shortest amount of time- saving you crucial minutes when you need them most. Safeguard also lets you set up predefined and predetermined scenarios, so that when a particular situation unfolds, the right personnel can be instantly notified. No more call sheets, no more old-school alarm systems.

“Financially, Safeguard has enabled us to save immensely as we’ve been able to cut back from 500 to about 200 trained ER officers in our organization. This has been possible through the accurate insight and precise data provided by Safeguard.”
